Jennifer’s list should have a cross next to MSU; it accepts a much lower percentage of applicants than some that do. We were told less than 3% when my daughter applied (at that time about 700 applicants a year, I’m assuming more now with in-state tuition).

I agree. Not sure what year the list was compiled

I just saw this. One of my idols, so especially cool. And yes, the MSU music department (which the MT kids are quite involved with) is first rate. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/inside-paul-simons-genre-bending-new-album-stranger-to-stranger-20160407

@Calliene Do you know how many applicants there were for BFA MT class of 2020? Just curious.

Nope, @16bars, no idea. I’m assuming it was more than previously.

When we were visiting last month, we spoke to Mark Hardy and I seem to recall him saying that they had over 900 applications this year.
